Bruce Lee's "The Silent Flute" To Be Remade Paul Maslansky is developing "The Silent Flute," a martial arts feature based on a treatment written by Bruce Lee prior to his death in 1973. Maslansky produced an earlier version of the movie in 1978 -- better known as " Circle of Iron " -- with the late Sandy Howard. He secured rights to the project from Howard's widow, Arlene Howard. The Silent Flute will be an epic martial arts adventure film that promises to honor Bruce Lee's original artistic and philosophical conception," said Paul Maslansky, who is exec producing. "It also promises to reach new levels of action and adventure never before seen in martial arts filmmaking." "Circle of Iron," centered on a martial artist rebel -- portrayed by Jeff Cooper -- on a quest for the "Book of Enlightenment" and the various trials that educate him in Zen philosophy. Bruce Lee had written a part for himself as a ...

Peter Jackson Gives Update On "The Hobbit" We have some good news about the long over due and much anticipated film "The Hobbit" Peter Jackson gives fans the most recent update on where the two Hobbit films are. We've just delivered the script. Literally last week, we delivered the second of the two screenplays -- the first draft. So the studio's got both scripts now, which is a milestone; and if anything was holding it up, it was us doing the screenplays, because we'd just been writing as fast as we can, but it took us this long to get them finished. So we take whatever responsibility there is for the speed. And we're now in the process of budgeting the films, and then hopefully we'll get to a budget the studio [people] are happy with, and they'll greenlight the movies and we'll announce the shooting dates. I'd be pretty optimistic that we'll be shooting before the end of the year. I would imagine October, November, we'd ...

"Thing is, do ghosts age?, Wouldn't we be stuck in the age we were? Alec [Baldwin] and I would have to look as we did then - who knows, maybe we could? I better get in touch with Tim Burton. A script titled "Beetlejuice goes Hawaiian" , written by Jonathan Gems, was doing the rounds in the early '90s. It saw the Deetz family moving to Hawaii, where Charles (Jeffrey Jones) is developing a resort. Soon enough the twice-unlucky clan discover they're building on top of an old ancie...

Fanboys Coming To Blu-Ray I am a huge fan of the film, and even a bigger fan of the director Kyle Newman . I got a chance to talk to Kyle last year at the Scream Awards even though it was brief , this guy was super cool. (JERSEY MIKE's.)  So yeah, I am going to let you know about the release of this Blu-ray and great film. We have gotten word that Amazom has begun to take pre-orders of the film and is set to be released on July 27, 2010. A little history about this film-when this film was set to be released in Theaters it went through hell just to get there. So many bumps and bull shit in the road for this film to over come. The film was set to be released on August 17, 2007, but was pushed back for a January 2008 release date. But, oh wait, the film kept getting pushed back further and further which I think really killed the box office total for this film. The final cut of the film was screened on July 24, 2008, in San Diego at Comic-Con.  It was announced there that ...

Michael Bay To Blow Up Reality TV I am sure that the first shot of the show will involve some kind of explosion.  Bad ass over the top Michael Bay is making his first foray into unscripted television, partnering with top reality producers Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz of Magical Elves to produce an action-adventure series. One Way Out , which is being pitched to the networks, is described as “a game with no rules.” A cross between an extreme Survivor, The Mole and The Amazing Race, the show pits ordinary people from all walks of life against each other. “For my first television project I wanted to do something that had never been done before, and I believe that One Way Out, Bay said. “Combining unique twists, death-defying challenges, and stunning visuals, we are reinventing the genre, showing just how far people will go when they are stripped of their bare necessities and forced to do whatever it takes to survive." All players have secret pasts that they must keep hidden, set...

Two New Toy Story 3 Clips We got our hands on two new Toy Story 3 Clips one is filmed on a Security Camera, which gives the clip an edgier fell to it. And the second clip is more like a Macy's commercial. I hope you enjoy these clips as much as I did. The creators of the beloved “Toy Story” films re-open the toy box and bring moviegoers back to the delightful world of our favourite gang of toy characters in TOY STORY 3.

Iron Man 2 Easter Eggs  After The Credits Have Rolled I have been accustom to staying after the credits role during a movie now, with a hand full of films having Easter eggs at the end of the film. And we learned from cinemablend that Iron Man 2 will be no different from the first film. After the credits have rolled be sure to stick around because they will have a few surprises for us. Captain America and Thor will show up in Iron Man 2 after credits and it may also be the first time the “Avengers” are referenced by name in a Marvel film. We already know from the Iron Man 2 trailers that Sam Jackson’s Nick Fury plays a prominent role in the sequel, and Fury should be at least partially responsible for putting the Avengers team together. Maybe he’s even roped Tony Stark into recruiting, resulting in an after the credits scene in which Stark tries to hire Captain America and Thor for Fury’s superhero team-up,,. but that's just a theory.

Mattel Collectibles Exclusive For Comic-Con 2010 If you have ever been to Comic-Con then you know how crazy it gets, when you try to get your hand on Exclusive items from all the different booths. This year will be no different. G4 got the first look at the exclusives that Mattel will be offing this year. * Masters of the Universe Classics Skeletor and Mo-Larr from the Robot Chicken sketch – we saw this set at Mattel’s collector event at Toy Fair. Skeletor is missing a tooth, like he is at the end of the sketch. * Masters of the Universe Classics Orko – comes with a Prince Adam “accessory.” Adam, a fully-articulated figure, was positioned in the package sideways below Orko, obscured partially by standard packaging. When you dip Orko in hot water, he turns transparent and “disappears.” When you dip his spellbook in hot water, the SDCC logo appears. I imagine the SDCC logo is exclusive to the version that will be sold at SDCC, but I’m not sure if Orko’s disappearing act is ...

Joss Whedon To Take On The Avengers Film There goes the neighborhood. Deadline is confirming that  Joss Whedon is in final talks to direct Marvel's proposed The Avengers movie. I am not sure that I would trust such a high profile franchise with Whedon with his track record being just the film Serenity. I understand he has a Huge following with fanboys and girls and he has written the scripts for several (including his upcoming Cabin in the Woods) and is a well-known script doctor in Hollywood. He's also got a long relationship with Marvel, having written Astonishing X-Men, not to mention an early draft of the X-Men movie, among other things. Please Leave A Comment- Source- Deadline / Syfy

Catherine Hardwicke Confirmed For Little Red Riding Hood Film It has been confirmed that Catherine Hardwicke will be directing the upcoming Red Riding Hood film. In 2008, she directed the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling book, Twilight. The film was the first in a planned series produced by Summit Entertainment based on Meyer's four-book series. Production Weekly  is reporting that: Catherine Hardwicke's adaptation of the classic fairy Red Riding Hood has opened offices at Vancouver Film Studios, for an early July shoot. The best-known version of the story—in which a wolf disguises himself to fool a girl delivering food to her sick grandmother in the forest—was published in the 19th century by the Brothers Grimm. Earlier oral versions of the tale, which date back to the Middle Ages, are far darker and sometimes involve a werewolf rather than a wolf; the first published version, by Charles Perrault, concludes with Red Riding Hood eaten by the wolf, with...

Joe Johnston Talks Chris Evans And How He Got The Captain America Role Joe Johnston the director of The First Avenger: Captain America Film talked to Earths Mightiest about the upcoming film and how Chris Evans nabbed the role of Steve Rodger (Captain America.) So what was it exactly they were looking for? Johnston explains. Casting Captain America is really casting two roles...Steve Rogers before and after the transformation from 98 pound weakling to perfect physical specimen. I can't divulge how we're going to do it, but the performance will be Chris Evans from beginning to end. An actor playing Captain America has to embody that back story and let it inform his understanding of his new self. One of the interesting aspects of the character is the effect that kind of total transformation would have on the his psyche. It gives the character more dimension and the actor playing him a wider range of interesting choices. Johnston goes on and explains why he chose Chris Evans ...

The Chronicles of Riddick 3 Film Details. Seems like Vin Diesel will only do Riddickfilms or Fast and Furious films these days. Not really hip to the title of the film ( Dead Man Stalking ), who cares what I think right.  I have never been a fan of the whole series. Pitch Black didn't make me a fan and The Chronicles of Riddick did nothing for me. So what the heck lets make a third film. Coronacomingattraction has read and reviewed the script for The Chronicles Of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking and here are some details of the film below, to read the rest check it out here . When we see Riddick at the beginning of Dead Man Stalking he’s a bloody battered mess, crawling for his life on the baked floor of an alien world. The predators native to this planet are circling in and waiting for death to come so they can feed at Riddick’s corpse — but he won’t let them. Riddick realizes here that he’s got to let what happened to him in Pitch Black and Chronicles go if he’s to survive the n...

Project X Is In the Works And It Doesn't Star A Monkey Don't be confused with the 1987 movie with the same title that starred a Monkey and Matthew Broderick, this is not a reboot of that film. Project X has got tongues wagging in Hollywood. Warner Bros, Todd Phillips and Joel Silver are mobilizing a raunchy comedy with a $12 million budget, a hard R-rating, under that working title. British video/commercials director Nima Nourizadeh will be making his feature directing debut, and Phillips will be the producer and creative godfather. There are several unusual facets to this film. First, when was the last time Warner Bros spent as low as $12 million on a movie? Second, the real title and the concept are being kept secret--all I can get is that it's an outrageous high concept--and the filmmakers won't be distributing full scripts, only watermarked pages to prospective college-aged cast. But the most intriguing part is that the filmmakers are intent that every actor c...

He-Man Film Gets Their Writers The guys behind the upcoming "Predators" reboot, have been brought on board to pen "Masters of the Universe" for Columbia. Mike Finch and Alex Litvak will be given the shot of writing the screen play.  The studio picked up movie rights to the 1980s Mattel toy property in the fall, when Mattel and Warner Bros. parted ways after the sides couldn't agree on a creative vision. The addition of the rising writers is the first major move on the property and signals the project is being rebuilt from the ground up. While at Warners, "Masters" went through several writers and in latter stages had John Stevenson, who co-helmed "Kung Fu Panda," attached to direct. Getting the go-ahead to tackle any major toy-brand film can be tricky. Depending on the property, writers and directors need to get a thumbs-up from the studio, which then has to win approval from the toy company. In the case of "Masters," Mattel ...

Ryan Reynold's Green Lantern Suit To Be All CG No Spandex Ladies /Films found out some interesting news about the upcoming Ryan Reynold's Green Lantern film. Peter claims he has word from three independent sources that Ryan Reynolds' suit in the upcoming Green Lantern film will be completely computer generated. The suit is apparently "a grey tracking motion/performance capture suit with LED lights," perhaps not too far from what Garrett Hedlund and Co. are wearing in Tron Legacy. This came as a bit of surprise, but after a little more consideration about the project, the idea actually makes a lot of sense. In the film, the suit is worn by all races who wear the green rings, and Hal Jordan is the first human to wear the suit. Providing an other-worldly look to the suit should help it stand out from what has become the standard spandex model (see: Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four, etc.) in superhero films today. Peter also reminds us that Ngila Dickson, the costum...

New Details On The Next Jack Ryan Film Starring Chris Pine We haven’t heard a lot about the next Jack Ryan film in the last few months, not since Chris Pine officially signed on to take over the role held by Ben Affleck, Harrison Ford, and Alec Baldwin before him. The last we heard about the project was that a largely unknown screenwriter, Adam Cozad, had stepped in to do a rewrite of Hossein Amini’s original draft. In December, producer Mace Neufield revealed only that it was not an origins story, it would not be based on a Tom Clancy novel, and that, in reference to the movie’s starting point, “We pick him up while he’s on Wall Street.” The movie will pick up with the Jack Ryan not long after his stint in the Marines, before he’s joined the CIA, while he’s a Wall Street stock broker, an occupation that will play heavily into the script. In the Clancy novels, Jack Ryan was a successful financial analyst in Baltimore for Merrill Lynch. In the new movie, he will have transplanted to ...
